Other places like their LNGs

New York may have said 'no' to Broadwater, the proposed liquefied natural gas barge for the Long Island Sound, but other states are embracing their LNGs.
According to an Associated Press story, two new LNG facilities in the Gulf Coast are readying for deliveries of the super-cooled fuel.

LNG platforms are a new and innovative source for natural gas imports. Transporting LNG over land by train or truck is inefficient and dangerous.

Natural gas is unique from coal and oil in that pipelines are the only efficient method of distribution. Coal is very costly to import over the ocean and oil can be more easily stored at far away storage facilities than natural gas.

Natural gas must arrive via pipeline and is more difficult and dangerous to store.

Natural gas is the superior form of energy for producing electricity and heating our homes and businesses.

Those regions that close their gates to such an increasingly necessary source of energy will suffer higher energy costs and be less able to compete both economically and in quality of life with regions that embrace LNG platforms .

Long Island can not prosper without sufficient supplies of natural gas…the recent decision to avoid the risk posed by the Broadwater LNG platform will be a fatefully poor decision.

My friend Clifford is absolutely right when he advocates diversity of energy supply, but we must do more in the area of conservation and hydrogen conversion. In fact there are myriad methods of research and development we must pursue. That is why congressman Israel’s efforts at making Long Island a center of research on energy should be taken seriously.

The new Advanced Energy Research Center at Stony Brook being led by Bob Catell, Yakov Shamash, and Shirley Strum Kenny will be a major contributor to our energy efforts. We already have a variety of technologies in energy production and conservation to explore, and I have every confidence that we have the talent on Long Island to make great things happen.
